Congratulations on the purchase of the AT&T 3G MicroCell™. The 3G MicroCell provides voice and data service to AT&T 

3G wireless phones and devices within a home or small business environment. The 3G MicroCell is secure and can deliver 

maximum cellular signal strength within its coverage area – it’s like having your own mini cell tower in your home or office.

Before You Begin

To operate the 3G MicroCell, you must have the following items:

 

• 

   High Speed Internet service over DSL or Cable

*

    Modem or gateway (a Wi-Fi router is optional)

• 

  Computer with Internet access to register your device

• 

  System Administrators (business customers) see Firewall Specifications on page 5 of this User Manual.

    Please verify these requirements before going any further

Allow 

up to 2 hours

 to have your 3G MicroCell up and running. Your part (online activation and equipment setup) takes 

10-15 minutes. The additional time is for system configuration and 3G service activation. These tasks are handled by the 

3G MicroCell and require no effort on your part.
